to choose the group capability for link aggregates. Ports

 

going to different link aggregates should have different

 

group capabilities.

 

The default group capability is 5.

HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME

Name of physical interface. For example, lan0 and lan1.

HP_APAPORT_KEY

For LACP_AUTO only. An integer value that determines

 

which network physical ports can be aggregated into a

 

common LACP link aggregate. Set the key to be the same

 

for all network physical ports. The key must match the key

 

of the desired aggregate that the user wants the port to

 

join. This value is set in the /etc/rc.config.d/

 

hp_apaconf file. “Configuring a Link Aggregate”

 

(page 36) describes how to choose the key.

 

The default administrative key is 0.

HP_APAPORT_PRIORITY

Set the port priority for the port. The port priority

 

determines which port in a link aggregate will be the

 

interface when the link aggregate is set to Hot Standby

 

mode (HP_APA_HOT_STANDBY=on).

 

The default port priority is 0.

HP_APAPORT_SYSTEM_PRIORITY

For LACP_AUTO only. Set the port system priority for the

 

port specified by HP_APAPORT_INTERFACE_NAME. The

 

system priority gives control to the system to resolve

 

waiting ports to be added in a link aggregate.

 

The default system priority is 0.

lanconfig.ascii File

Example B-1shows a sample /etc/lanmon/lanconfig.ascii ASCII configuration file. This file contains configuration information that LAN Monitor uses for failover groups.
